Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Matthews Burwell spent much of the
weekend trying to rally support among governors for the administration's efforts to
cope with a surge of migrants coming across the Southwest border. The Justice
Department issued regulations to
name at least 15 temporary immigration judges. That will help the overloaded courts
a smidgen. For a first-hand look at the immigration court system, Tom Temin and
Emily Kopp spoke to Judge Dana Leigh Marks on the Federal
Drive. She is president of the National Association of Immigration Judges, and
she likens her job to deciding death-penalty cases with traffic-court resources.
